In this week’s Fast Forward, GB and AJ follow up on last week’s Legend (1985) episode by counting down their favourite movie make-up and prosthetic creations of all time.
Inspired by Rob Bottin‘s incredible work bringing Darkness to life, the pair each bring five picks to create a combined top 10, running from five down to two, with honourable mentions along the way before revealing their individual number ones.
From The Thing and An American Werewolf in London to Terminator 2 and Mrs Doubtfire, the discussion celebrates the artists who transformed actors into unforgettable characters long before CGI became the norm.
The guys also explore the pioneers behind the make-up, including Rick Baker, Stan Winston, Rob Bottin and John Chambers, debate whether practical effects still outperform CGI, and uncover one astonishing transformation from a little-known 1930s film that has to be seen to be believed.
